Hello sandy.

Could you perhaps give us an idea of what all this book covers ? Amazon does not seem to have an index of this book. . . But would be more than glad to review the book, if the subject matter is interesting.

Hi,

I might be able to help with that.

This is intended to be an intro book for those getting started with the
BeagleBone boards.

Things covered:

- The differences between the 4 different Beagle boards (BBC, BBX, BBB, BBW) and
roughly what their strengths are. Focus is on the BBB and BBW as implied by
the title.
- Useful accessories.
- Flashing and basic diagnostics for the board.
- Unboxing and other fundamental steps (connecting to it with
javascript/serial port)
- Exercise to program the board without using Java and turning that into a
sample "product" (creating a startup script, having a very basic web UI).
- Potential expansion paths (precanned and custom stuff along with some common
hook ups like LEDs and relays).
- Options for internet connectivity and their pitfalls
- How booting works.

Ah, ok. So better for someone else to read and review.
